Alien Blood Trailers

Spoof science fiction. An alien mother and her child are pursued across England by a bunch of incompetent government agents and take refuge in a house full of vampires. Homage back to the camp tone of British directors of the 1970's such as Ken Russell, (The Lair Of The White Worm), Robert Fuest, (Dr Phibes Rises Again), and Joe McGrath, (The Magic Christian). Distributed by Troma in the U.S., it contains violence, nudity and exploding bagpipes.

Since I use a rental service that bills me monthly no matter how many movies I take out, ALIEN BLOOD cost me essentially only the time I spent watching it. Fortunately the fast forward button puts this expenditure entirely under my control. When confronted with a film like this, i.e. a cinematic shipwreck, I take one of two paths. I can hit the eject button as soon as I know what's up, or I can examine the movie the way I examine old barns and attics, looking for something nice in all the clutter. There were indeed a few pretty trinkets in this movie. Some of the exterior shots of the English countryside are wonderful; I snatched them out of the picture and saved them as graphic files. One of these days I'll run them through Photoshop and turn them into very decent landscape art for my den. If you don't like landscapes, though, give this picture a miss; if it's moving in this film, it's ridiculous.

Oh, dear God! I actually had to invent a new word to describe this film. So here it is; craparamic. Jon Sorensson has created an epic worthy of the greatest stage. And here's why; 1) The tagline. 'They want your blood'. Now, Jon old boy, who the bloody hell are you talking about? You never explain it, you geriatric old genius 2)Storyline. Oh, yes! Seriously, you have included vampires, aliens and, best of all, the Karate Kid in this film and yet it still achieves a level of lameness seldom seen outside of Hull. You are truly gifted.3)Special effects. How much did you actually spend on these? I reckon you just found a random tramp, gave him a bag of crisps and a commodore 64 and, wella!, the rest is (as they say) history.4)Acting. Seriously - I have seen more intelligence at the bottom of ponds, Jon. At the bottom of ponds. And the fact you added the 'twist' (hahaha!) of there being brothers? What a genius way to disguise the fact that you could not afford two actors the quality of... Well done, Jon. Well done.5)Oh God, to hell with it. I loved this film! It is really awful but, having just watched it (again) with my housemates I really can say I haven't laughed so much for a long time. Sorensen for an Oscar, OBE, hell even a knighthood? You heard it here first

After purchasing this film from a nearby scrubber shop I was most astounded by its graphical brilliance. Jon Sorenson went all out on the alien special effects and in my opinion has achieved something particularly commendable. Full of twists and turns along the way, this awesome storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. I particularly enjoyed the bit where you watch a bunch of ugly losers the house for about 1 hour, the best bit being when Tom p***es on his shoe. During the film the camera crew can be heard sneezing and farting on numerous occasions which all adds to the sci-fi atmosphere. The fight seens are breath taking, the best bit being when the woman hits the butler in the face with a tray and then kicks him in the shin, OUCH!!! Overall I have given this film 10\10 and I expect you will do the same when you have seen it, go buy it now it only cost me £15.99 for the DVD, BARGIN!!!

This film is a unique vision, outside any genre placement; despite its' being ostensibly science fiction.What might have been possible with a larger budget who knows, given that it uses CGI before that medium had been either properly defined or developed.Perhaps large amounts of money wouldn't have been an answer, but there's no doubt it would have helped the film reach a larger audience. It's been said often enough, but it's still true: Funding ten low budget films, giving new directors a chance, is more likely to reveal that elusive new vision than a single 'formula' blockbuster for the same money.
